For cancer patients, linear accelerators (or LINACs) can be a game changer. These advanced machines deliver highly targeted radiation therapy, effectively destroying cancer cells while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. We’re proud to expand this technology to patients in Mercer and Lawrence counties. UPMC Hillman Cancer Center at UPMC Horizon–Shenango Valley recently unveiled its second LINAC, ensuring access to world-class cancer care in the communities people call home. When you’re facing

Last week we asked you to guess what this was… 🔎 Here we see the Experimental Linac for Surface Analysis (ELISA), a compact proton accelerator built for exhibition in #CERNScienceGateway – the only one that is ready for demonstrations to the public. ELISA is capable of performing a real Proton Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) analysis, used in real-life to authenticate artworks, among other uses. At Science Gateway, visitors have access to hands-on experiments like PIXE and instruments like ELISA
